I'm pretty sure the Softpedia article is incorrect in saying that "cmd" is now aliased to powershell. I installed the update, and running cmd from search bar (win cmd enter) and from run dialog (win+r cmd enter) both launch cmd.exe.
The release announcement post says "Typing “cmd” (or “powershell”) in File Explorer’s address bar will remain a quick way to launch the command shell at that location."
I honestly kind of wish it was aliases - I regularly launch a cmd window due to decades of muscle memory, then remember I really probably wanted powershell.
